Writing: The Meditation Of Today's World

Writing is more than just putting words on paper; it's an exploration of one's mental framework. It acts as a mirror, reflecting the inner workings of the mind, and as a bridge between chaos and clarity. In the moment of fever and rush, writing has proven to calm the chaos. Writing is a way to bring ideas to life. Every human has an unknown story inside of them, a silent conversation between who they are and who they want to become in future. Writing lends a voice to that story. Writing forces one to face the reality of one's own.

Life is filled with joys, disappointments, love, and loss. Without contemplation, these moments can be overlooked and forgotten, much like strangers in a crowd. Writing encourages introspection and requires silence. In today's world, I see people are just passing the time without reflecting on their experiences. However, true reflection demands both silence and attention. Unfortunately, we have an lesser attention span comparable to that of a goldfish.

Expressive writing is often recommended by psychologists as a therapeutic tool for emotional healing and self-discovery. When you write about your regrets, dreams, or fears, you may uncover aspects of yourself that you were previously unaware of. This process encourages you to stop and consider the meaning behind your experiences. In our fast-paced world, reflective writing helps us reconnect with our true selves.

Writing reflectively allows individuals to transcend time. It becomes a memorial for ideas and a means of remembrance. Writing serves as a shelter during times of grief, loneliness, or uncertainty.

Authors like Anne Frank found refuge in writing. As she said, "Paper has more patience than people." When the world doesn't listen, words do. This practice of inner reflection has been acknowledged by poets.

This practice encourages self-awareness by encouraging individuals to encounter aspects of themselves that they may not know. Through the exploration of regrets, dreams, and fears, writing illuminates both the positive and negative facets of one’s inner world.

Writing allows one to find the patterns - unexpressed emotions, mistakes, the repititive thought chain and unfulfilled hopes. This consciousness promotes development. The more one writes, the more they understands the story they are unconciously living. Writing turns into an act of authorship over life itself, not just over words.

Writing is meditation at its best. It invites the internal to speak while silencing the external. Consciously writing every word turns into an awareness-raising prayer. Writing allows one to touch truth and transcend ego. For this reason, poets, sages, and saints have all written: to feel what cannot be touched, to express what cannot be said.

Writing is the decor of the inner mind. The same way people decorate their home outside to acknowledge how they are- the colours that resonate the best, the texture that soothes, art that speaks. Similarly, each paragraph works as a lantern that enables you to access the innermost corners of your mind.
